Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

What, then, shall be said of those who make this a prophecy<br />

to be fulfilled in the future age? A few considerations<br />

will show the folly of such an application. p. 77, Para.<br />

2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

1. In the future state, Christ is to be the Prince over<br />

Israel; and there is to be but one. Luke 1:32,33. But the<br />

prince brought to view by Ezekiel is a poor, frail mortal,<br />

as is shown by the following representations made concerning<br />

him. p. 77, Para. 3, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

2. He is commanded to offer a bullock as a sin-offering<br />

for himself. Eze. 45:22. But Christ, the Prince of the future<br />

state, is himself the great sin-offering for the<br />

world. 1 John 2:1,2. p. 77, Para. 4, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

3. He was to offer all manner of offerings for himself.<br />

Eze. 46:1-8. But Christ caused all these offerings to cease<br />

at his death. Dan. 9:27; Eph. 2:15; Col. 2:14. p. 77,<br />

Para. 5, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

4. God says to the princes mentioned by Ezekiel, Take away<br />

your exactions from my people. Eze. 45:9. But when Christ<br />

reigns, there will be nothing oppressive; for the officers<br />

will be peace, and the exactors, righteousness. Isa. 60:17-<br />

19. p. 77, Para. 6, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

5. Ezekiel's prince was to have sons and servants to whom<br />

he might, if he chose, give an inheritance; but it was to<br />

return to him in the year of Jubilee; and he was forbidden<br />

to oppress the people. Eze. 46:16-18. Surely it would be<br />

blasphemous to apply this to Christ, to whom it must apply<br />

if this prophecy has reference to the future state. p. 77,<br />

Para. 7, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

6. And finally, in the state of things Ezekiel brings to<br />

view, there are marriages, divorces and deaths. Eze.<br />

44:22,24-27. But in the future state they neither marry nor<br />

are given in marriage, but are equal unto the angels, and<br />

can die no more. Luke 20:35,36. p. 78, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

Thus it is demonstrated, (1) that Ezekiel has no reference<br />

to the world or the age to come; (2) that he has no reference<br />

to the present dispensation; (3) that his prophecy refers<br />

wholly to the past, or Mosaic, dispensation; (4) that
